Stairs, Ramps, and Railings - Autodesk Revit Architecture 2015 Essentials - page 116

Now You Know
Stairs, railings, and ramps are separate object types in Revit Architecture that share some
underlying parameters. In addition, objects such as railings do not require a stair to exist;
they can be created independently or created using a stair as a host for additional complexity.
In this chapter, you learned about the properties that make up railings and balusters. You
created railings and hosted them to stairs. You also customized the top railing and overrode
the slope for some railing segments. For stairs you created railings using both the Stair by
Component and Stair by Sketch tools. You customized the boundaries and landings and set some
to span multiple stories. And finally you created ramps, edited the boundary, and adjusted
various properties.
